Modified the IBTW Barnstormer today. 

Removed the Cox Pee We e 020 with tank and built a stunt tank to go inside the IBTW.  Modified the radial mount for the second Pee Wee 020 to mount in the space of the metal tank / mount.  The new tank is 1 x 1 x 1/2 inch.  Should give me about 5 minutes flight time.  Much better than 1 1/2 minutes.

For economy reasons, due to the relatively low volume of sales, the Tee Dee .020 and Pee Wee .020 used identical pistons and cylinders.  Tapered honing and all, I was told.  You would have to "mike" a Pee Wee Piston to verify this. 

There may have been a .010 reed valve engine prototype, but the production .010 was only Tee Dee front rotary.

Early examples could turn that small prop just at 30K on 30% Nitro.  The current ones are OK, but not in that class, probably pushing hard to reach 25K.

Good show on the Barnstormer family, I want to build one eventually too!  I would be more likely to scale the big Barnstormer down to about 250 sq.in. for an APC .061 and Leprechaun competition.
